Kenny Miller: ‘I had to quit Celtic to be at best for Scotland’

One of the quirks of Kenny Miller’s career is that he has a penchant for scoring goals spectacularly rather than copiously. For a striker, it is a mixed compliment, as supporters of any of the five clubs Miller has played for will frustratingly testify.

Miller’s scoring record for Scotland – 12 in 34 games – captures precisely the type of attacker he is: quick, industrious and even admirable, but not a natural finisher. Nonetheless, it is a tally he will be seeking to enhance if given the chance to lead Scotland’s attack against Ukraine at Hampden Park on Saturday.
